Fall is my favorite season and my favorite spot to decorate for fall is my screen porch! This year I decided to use shades of autumn green in my porch decor.
Today I’m joining some of my blogging friends for a Fall Ideas Tour hosted by Angie from Postcards from the Ridge. Each day this week featured a different topic to give you some fall ideas for your own home. You can see the full schedule with links at the end of today’s post. If you are here visiting from House of Hawthornes, Welcome! Now, let’s take a look at my autumn green porch decor.
AUTUMN GREEN ACORN SQUASH, HUBBARD SQUASH AND GOURDS
These deep green acorn squash look like green mini pumpkins!!! I used them last year on my Fall mantel. You can see it HERE.
This year, I decided to use them here on the porch mixed with some white baby boo’s and mini green gourds. And, how about that Hubbard Squash! Another beautiful shade of green!
I had to bring out my DIY Black Cat Pillow! You can see how to make your own HERE.
I love how this corner turned out!
My favorite part is the antique grocery scale with that huge white pumpkin!
I’ve had this scale in my garage now for a few years. I purchased it thinking that I would try to restore it. Well, that hasn’t happened! It’s really BIG and really HEAVY. And, my husband would like to see it GONE! But, doesn’t it look amazing with that pumpkin and some branches!
And, let’s talk about the pumpkin! If you can’t find a huge white pumpkin, buy a huge orange pumpkin and paint it white!
At Christmastime I like to visit our municipal yard waste facility to pick up some free greens. I wanted some branches for the porch, but we don’t have any trees that have pretty leaves in our yard. So, I decided go there to see what I could find. I found some great branches, and I also got these dried hydrangeas that someone threw away! Well, I scooped them up and brought them home! Another pretty autumn green!
Thanks for stopping by to see my fall porch decor! If you’d like to see how I’ve decorated my porch in previous years, click HERE.

I love everything about your beautiful porch, especially those sweet kitty cat pillows. I am a big cat fan, lol đ and mine live on my porch.
You are killing me with your corner scale/suitcase/pumpkin display! So cute! I’m loving all your pumpkins and gourds and such. Such pretty muted shades!
The greens are so pretty for Fall!
Doreen you porch is simply beautiful. I love those dark green pumpkins and that bluish Hubbard is fantastic. What a smart tip about painting a large orange pumpkin white. Genius! I also really love the way you incorporated nature branches and flowers into the scene. Never get rid of that gorgeous scale. I’m pretty sure if you ever do decide to many of us bloggers would love to take it off your hands.
I always look forward to see how you’ve decorated your porch! I am loving the way you’ve used dark green, and I’m glad you brought back the cat pillow because seeing it just makes me smile!
Oh my Goodness, your scale corner has me all heart eyes over here, I simply adore it! And, hello for brilliant, simply paint a giant orange pumpkin!!!! What????!!!! You’ve changed my pumpkin hunting forever! Oh and, your porch is gorgeous!
lovely
Ah ha…what a great idea. Pumpkin painting. I absolutely ADORE your collection of pumpkins and gourds… And I also love the green with the creamy white. Such perfection. Happy Fall.
I knew I was going to love your porch, and I surely do! The white and green, the branches, you’ve got the eye for it all, beautiful!
May I come over and just sit in the beauty of your fall porch? hee hee
Happy Autumn!
The first thing I noticed was that amazing vintage scale. My goodness, those pumpkins and gourds are HUGE! Your green and white porch is beautiful, Doreen. I can’t believe someone would throw out perfectly gorgeous hydrangeas – who does that?
Beautiful, as always! Loving all the greens…..I would be interested in the sources for the pillows and throws. đ
I love everything about this space! The green and white color scheme is wonderful and I love all the vintage touches you’ve got throughout. So pretty!
I always enjoy seeing how you decorate your porch for the season. Using green and white is different and I adore how it looks. When I saw you kitty pillow, I thought to myself, “I remember that!”. When you first shared it I intended to make one but never did. Like the other ladies, I’m in love with your scale and suitcase display. Your porch looks wonderful and hopefully the weather in PA is perfect right now for enjoying it.
I am thinking hubby is going to have to learn to love that scale! It is gorgeous and absolutely perfect on your porch! And that cat pillow! Popping over to see how you made that too.
Love the colors of your squashes…I always find those cool grays/greens with white such a natural and calm fall color combination.
Thanks for the inspiration.
So happy to join you on this fantastic blog tour!
Hugs, Lynn
Adore the green palette for fall on your porch! As well as all the fun goodies to look at. Every nook and cranny has something perfectly fall. Pinned!
I could cuddle up on your porch all day long! Absolutely gorgeous and the cat pillow is so adorable!
Doreen,
Love the greens!! Itâs absolutely calming. A place to sit in the cool of a fall evening as the sun goes down!
Green has always been a favorite of mine and your porch is fabulous decked out in it. I have to say though, that black cat pillow has stolen a bit of my heart. I think I need to check out that DIY right now!! Happy Fall!!
Hi, I simply love the look of your green and white porch! Everything looks just right! Love the antique scale and the large pumpkins and gourds! Your colors just melt in my mouth!!!!LOL
As always your porch is gorgeous! I love all the whites and greens đ
I have painted many orange faux pumpkins but it’s never occurred to me to plain a real one. So clever!!
I finally made it over to see your porch!! It is always my favorite! I love green, I always have! Thanks for sharing your porch!
Your porch looks so cozy and pretty with the different shades of green. I love the old scale. And I definitely have some unfinished projects and other things in my garage that the hubby would love to get rid of. What do they know, right? So happy to have you touring with us!
Your porch is so inviting! I love all the vintage touches — that scale! And can we talk about those beautiful gourds, squash and pumpkins? The colors are beautiful and they’re ginormous!
Green is my favorite color and fall is my favorite season so I am loving your porch decor. Of course I am also smitten by the vintage eye candy. That scale is amazing and decorated perfectly for fall! Are you going to use it for Christmas too? I have some old heavy pieces that my husband complains about, but I just can’t part with them!
